Cisco Online Privacy Statement Highlights

Cisco Privacy Portal

Cisco's privacy portal is dedicated to sharing our privacy and compliance journey with customers, partners and colleagues. We recognize that a key to our business is building and maintaining trust, reducing risk and simply doing what is right. Fundamental to that concept is our philosophy that "Protecting information is everyone's responsibility."

The Cisco Online Privacy Statement and this summary apply to Cisco's websites and our affiliates' websites that link to the Statement.

Cisco respects and is committed to protecting your personal information. Our privacy policies reflect current global principles and standards on handling personal information – notice and choice of data use, data access and integrity, security, onward transfer and enforcement/oversight. Below are some of the highlights of our Online Privacy Statement.

Personal Information

We collect personal information for a variety of reasons, such as processing your order, providing you with a newsletter subscription, personalizing your experience, or in connection with a job application.

We will inform you of the purpose for collecting personal information when we collect it from you and keep it to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws or for legitimate purposes.

We may combine the information we collect from you with information obtained from other sources to help us improve its overall accuracy and completeness, and to help us better tailor our interactions with you.

We may also collect information relating to your use of our websites through the use of various technologies, including cookies.

We will use your personal information for the purpose it was collected and will not use it for a disquaresfferent purpose without first asking for your permission.

As a global company, we may transfer your personal information to Cisco in the United States, to any Cisco subsidiary worldwide or to third parties acting on our behalf located outside of the country where the data is collected where data protection standards may be different.

We do not transfer your personal information to third parties unless those third parties promise to give the information the equivalent level of protection that we provide.
